Spyderco Amalgam Folding Knife Drop Point Black - Durable, Lightweight and Reliable Handle - C234CFP

The Amalgam is a meticulously designed, versatile tool that seamlessly integrates Spyderco's Compression Lock mechanism, a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole and a flipper opener into a cohesive unit. Conceived by Brian Lai, a mechanical engineering student and knife enthusiast, this knife features a robust drop-point blade crafted from American-made CPM S30V stainless steel. The PlainEdge blade boasts a full-flat grind for impeccable edge geometry and is finished in a striking satin. Enhanced with low-friction ball-bearing washers, the blade delivers an exceptionally smooth action, enabling swift, confident one-handed deployment using either the index-finger flipper or Round Hole. When open, the flipper also functions as a practical lower guard. The Amalgam's handle incorporates skeletonized stainless steel liners within textured carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales, ensuring a slim, pocket-friendly profile. Its open-backed construction reduces weight while enhancing balance. Complete with a four-position clip and a lined lanyd hole, the Amalgam accommodates diverse carry preferences, facilitating quick and secure access with either hand. This knife exemplifies practicality and performance, ideal for everyday use and demanding tasks alike.
